Chapter 395: Rusty City Strange Stories

The special experience, originally planned to last until dark, did not end until noon the next day.

Not only the office covered by shadows was affected, but the entire factory area was also slightly affected. It is said that when viewed from afar at night, this place looks like a mountain wrapped in black shadows.

Lil sat on a bench in the hallway, his head switching back and forth in anxiety.

It's not that it didn't want to open the door. It was the actual controller of the factory and no one could stop it. But the damn fear lingered over its head. As soon as it thought of the terrifying captain from before, it completely lost the strength to knock on the door.

And sitting next to it was the man's adjutant...

Well, Lil couldn't help but comfort himself, at least the adjutant looked anxious too.

Finally, a voice came from inside the door.

“Squeak—”

The door was pushed open from the inside, and a bony hand came into view, followed by a little brittle bone with indestructible bones walking out.

The two people who were waiting fell silent at the same time, and looked at the note held in Xiaocui Gu's hand at the same time.

[Miss Lil (crossed out) Factory Rules Miss, Brother Xu lets you in.]

Lil almost choked back his tears.

"What the hell is that name! Call me Lil! I don't have a gender!" It refuted the name, stood up quickly, and strode into the house.

Xiao Ke Gu put away the note and was stopped by the adjutant beside him.

"Did the captain call me?"

The man pointed at himself.

They were all Bai Jin's loyal subordinates, but in the past when the captain was around, they could resolve all issues quickly and return on the same day.

However, this time...

Thinking of the young man with the clear and pleasant voice, he was a little unsure about what to do next.

Little Gristle scratched his head.

[I'll ask for you.]

After a moment, it came out again and waved to the slicing representative to go in as well.

But as soon as he entered, before the relieved expression on the adjutant's face completely faded, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.

The office was still the same office, but the person sitting in the boss chair was not his stern boss, but a black-haired young man in a wrinkled uniform jacket.

The other person was thin, slouching lazily in the chair, with a bored expression on his face, as if he had no interest in anything, and a blush on his white jade-like cheeks. He saw the young man yawn, and two tears hung in the corners of his slightly red eyes, making the other person look like a lazy cat.

The adjutant immediately shifted his gaze after just one glance.

What frightened him even more was the person standing behind the young man.

The cape that came with the uniform had been thrown away long ago. The imposing man stood straight with a satisfied expression. He must have been through something. His shirt had many wrinkles on it, but the leather straps were straight and straight, as if they had been tied up again...

It was not until he caught a glimpse of the scratches on his boss' neck that the adjutant determined the reason for the previous loss of contact.

He immediately averted his gaze and dared not look again, lowering his head almost to the ground.

Oh, it turns out that all the previous scenes were just for fun.

He asked why we were suddenly sent out on an emergency mission in the middle of the night.

Unlike humans who are quick-witted, Lil looked at the man behind Xu Zhiyan who seemed to be tamed and was horrified: "You didn't lie to me? Are you really having an office romance?"

Its straightforward question made Xu Zhiyan's mouth twitch.

"Well, let's skip this topic."

After experiencing the limits of their senses, people will inevitably enter a stage of having no desires or demands. Xu Zhiyan feels that he is now a great sage who loves peace and has stable emotions.

"Did everything I told you to do go smoothly?"

Talking about the plan, he finally regained some of his emotions.

"It's not peaceful out there."

Sure enough, when talking about the situation in the city, its expression changed instantly.

"The shipment went smoothly last night, and I have been doing what you asked me to do, but... I feel that its situation is changing."

Lil's expression was solemn. He felt that the rules of the city center were constantly changing, from a state that was similar to himself to a state that he could not understand.

The black mist covering his face kept shrinking and dispersing, and Lil visibly entered a nervous mode.

“…I’m not sure what it’s turning into.”

“It’s not so much changing as evolving.”

You know, although it was not as powerful as the rules in the urban area in the past, it was always able to protect the humans in the factory area. But recently it began to feel fear, especially after the arrival of the players, the lingering haze almost drowned it.

After listening to Lier's speech, Xu Zhiyan frowned slightly.

The walls of the dungeon world are so thin that they can't even support the appearance of ghosts and gods, the city monsters are constantly evolving and have extremely powerful, and the player identities are cumbersome and complicated, and the task lists are unclear.

He had previously wondered why this instance had to give players an additional layer of city rescue team reserve status on top of the basic city rules, and why the slice and its ability to break the instance space rules...

The seemingly confusing clues were integrated one by one.

The unimaginable purpose of the main system slowly surfaced.

"Is the main system sick?"

Xu Zhiyan spoke with a serious face.

Lil, who had been waiting for a long time to hear these words, was a little confused. Unfortunately, when he wanted to ask in detail, he was suppressed by Bai Jin's eyes.

Xu Zhiyan, who was still immersed in his world of thoughts, had not yet noticed that his partner was frightened away by his gaze. He felt that he would not be able to follow the main system's train of thought this time.

"It wants to release the resurrected rule monster into the real world? But what good will it gain from doing so?"

Players enter Rusty City with the identity of a rescue team member. After becoming a regular member, they will most likely be able to get the contact number of the rescue team, or a regular application report will appear. These clues will be sent to the slicing table. It is very concerned about the main system and the players' affairs, and will definitely come in person.

He still remembered the words about slicing.

'Everything has its cause and effect, it has its own things to do, even if all the people in this world die, it has nothing to do with me.'

Although the information about this part was erased from the information given by the ghosts and gods, Xu Zhiyan had no doubt that the main system promised to give the slice something, allowing it to activate the rules at the appropriate time.

Xu Zhiyan was puzzled.

In his eyes, this is something that has absolutely no benefit to anyone. Since the main system can create copies full of monsters, why would it want to get a real world that has been devoured by monsters?

Moreover, judging from the current situation, the mimics and the main system are fighting fiercely, so it would be a big deal to let the monsters appear in the world.

No, that's not right. There must be some clue that I've missed!

At this moment, Xu Zhiyan wished he was a fortune teller on the overpass, so he could sort out everything by pinching his fingers.

But no matter what, he has guessed part of the content, and the ghost god has lifted the rules that restricted him. Although the ghost god cannot leave the factory area because the wall of the copy is too thin, his subordinates can send all the humans in the factory away first.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhiyan felt a pang of pain in his heart.

The population of the nightmare community is not saturated, Asa is still integrating the ruins world, and the safe house is always short of people. It's all because of the main system. There are so many NPCs and so many high-quality subordinates, but he can't take them away now!

If the ghost god hadn't promised to find a way to get all the labor back later, Xu Zhiyan really wanted to take the risk and let the ghost god deal with the monsters and then crack the copy...

Forget it, this monster’s form is unknown and there is no room for any mistakes regarding matters of this world.

The next step is to instruct the evacuation of the factory.

Xiao Cu Gu, who was waiting on the side, took out his little notebook and wrote down in detail what Lil needed to do and what Bai Jin's men needed to do.

As for the initiators of the plan, they are doing their own things.

Xu Zhiyan was curled up in a chair reading news about his teammates. The ghost was still standing beside him. Perhaps because he had just been satisfied, his gaze towards Xu Zhiyan was very gentle.

After being out of contact for more than 24 hours, the chat records of the guild that spent money to change its fate have been flooded with messages.

At first, when there was no answer, someone was still making sarcastic remarks.

[Jiang Huai Que: @Xu Zhiyan, why is there no movement? Is the signal at the grave bad? ]

The following messages became increasingly aggressive, filled with a large number of blocked asterisks, and it was obvious that Jiang Huaique was cursing in a hurry.

Just now, because he had to deal with the matters in the factory first, Xu Zhiyan only reported that he was safe. Now, when he pulled the dialog box to the bottom, Jiang Huaique seemed to be very angry. He made a middle finger expression and stopped talking.

In the end, it was Dou Hongshan who finally realized the meaning of it.

[Dou Hongshan: You were banned because you used too much swearing, right?]

She was responded with a series of swearing emoticons.

[Xu Zhiyan: Pfft, I was banned? I just crawled out of the grave. I'll give you some coordinates later. Go there first.]

I replied a few jokes, but didn't see any problems in the guild channel. Instead, Jin Sheng cried and said that his car was lost and he was unable to meet up with Jiang Huaique smoothly.

【Jinsheng: A mad dog stole my car. 】

[Jin Sheng: I don’t know where he got the traffic police uniform from… No, the car was originally meant for anyone to drive, but we stole it from him.]

In order to get the car, Xinan even got a new identity, which shows that the probability of Jinsheng taking the car back is basically zero.

[Dou Hongshan: Look at the bright side, at least he won't ask you to be his driver at night anymore.]

[Jin Sheng: The degree of misery of these two is obviously similar! ]

Seeing that his teammates were still full of energy, Xu Zhiyan's last bit of worry completely disappeared. He turned off the game panel and looked up to find that Lil was still looking at him.

"What? Is there anything else?" Xu Zhiyan asked.

Lil looked up at Bai Jin and then hesitantly said, "Someone was looking for you outside the factory this morning."

"Eh? Could it be Jiang Huai Partridge?"

Xu Zhiyan was shocked, and a little worried that his teammates would be so angry with him that they would come for a real-life PK.

After all, places not covered by rules are controlled by monsters and are extremely dangerous.

"No, he was the person who came to work in the factory with you. I asked him to come in, but he didn't come in, so I sent your little follower over there... After we talked for a few words, the little follower was so scared that he almost knelt down." Lil felt complicated when talking about Qi Shanren.

After hearing this, Xu Zhiyan was also stunned by the client's courage.

"This is what the man asked me to give you." Finally, Lil took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it over.

Perhaps it was because the ghost was right next to him, Xu Zhiyan didn't even check and opened the envelope very smoothly. There was only a piece of paper inside. When he finished reading the contents, the paper started to burn and turned into ashes in an instant.

[Xu Zhiyan, do you want to make a deal with me?]

[As long as you help me complete the task, I will give you a gift in return.]

[I know where His heart is.]

The name of the owner of the envelope was clearly written at the end.

[Gan Mi]

Xu Zhiyan's expression suddenly changed.
